Re: [ga] registration info on domain names

["kidsearch" <kidsearch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

further still, if someone creates a .npo, I'm for further documentation that they are a legitimate nonprofit by the rules of their country before they can get a domain name.

There may be other instances, like a .inc going only to incorporated entities, etc.

  Times change. I used to be a fervant opposer of information being required for registering a domain name. Of course back then the requirement was pushed by IP folks so they could locate and sue infringers. Well i thought then and still do that it is an invasion of privacy. However nowadays the rules are used more to track down renegade spammers, kiddy porn freaks, fraudulent scheme jerks and terrorists.
  Oh you can still be an artful dodger, although it is getting tougher. And you still should register through a service or proxy.

  But to me that great pendulum which weighs violation of privacy versus public good seems to have swung a bit toward the side of registration.

  Therefor I suggest any new tld be required to prove a reasonably effective manner of identifying registrants. Personally I reccomend certifiying Agents for Service of Process as most countries do for corporations.
